Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Interns in 2014 [INFOGRAPHIC]

Does it make sense to take multiple internships, or is it smart to focus your energy on just one? How many of your fellow interns are getting paid, and does this payment affect job prospects? Students gearing up for internships and current interns have plenty of questions, and unfortunately, not many answers.

Search "internship" in the news and you'll come up with stories of former interns suing their internship programs for lack of payment, but nothing like the answers to the questions most interns badly want to know. For instance, those who have done three or more internships are actually twice as likely to score a job. And if your internship is unpaid, you're far from alone, since 48.3 percent of interns don't receive payment.

InternMatch, a LookSharp company, conducted one of the largest internship surveys of all time in order to answer some of the most burning internship questions. Surveying over 9,000 students from all over the U.S. and from all walks of life, the state of the internship report paints a clearer picture of what it's really like to be an intern in 2014.

Among the findings, here are some interesting statistics:

97.6 percent of interns recommended internships to other students

As of April 15th, only 16.6 percent of seniors had received a job offer

68.9 percent of college seniors have done at least one internship

Students with paid internships are three times more likely to have job offers than students with unpaid internships
